Keep a roof over Kamil's head in Gdynia
After a long illness, Kamil is 3 months behind on rent and has a termination letter from the landlord.
🇵🇱 Gdynia, Pomerania, Poland1,076 views
When the textile factory closed in September, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Wednesday a termination letter was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,250.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by December, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working evenings as a cleaner, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
Funds go to the landlord and nowhere else. Any amount left over after the arrears are cleared will go toward next month's rent.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Rent arrears (3 months): $650
• Late fees and court costs: $65
• Utilities in arrears: $150
• First month of rent as a buffer: $385
Thanks for reading all this.

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Gdynia
Thank you. If you're in Gdynia I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Tiruchirappalli this morning. Greetings from Tiruchirappalli!
sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
How is Kamil doing now?
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Pomerania. I'll ask around and let you know.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kamil.
It's all in the list in the story. rent arrears (3 months) is the big one at $650, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
best of luck, Kamil. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Gdynia.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
